After saying that, Han Ye thought about how the man had smiled at him as soon as he arrived, and now he had switched seats with a regular guest on their show, making an excuse that he had something to talk to him about, but after sitting down, he asked him what was wrong and then said nothing...
The more Han Ye thought about it, the more convinced he became that it was exactly as he had described, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
Oh my god, has he discovered some incredible secret?
Wait, could it be that Actor Zhou has already set his sights on him?
Feeling a chill run down his spine, Han Ye quickly moved to the side, trying to get away from him.
Han Ye: "I don't like men!"
"..."
Zhou Cheng looked at Han Ye speechlessly, then smirked and said, "It's a shame you're not a screenwriter with such a vivid imagination. How about you consider changing careers? I have some connections in the screenwriting circle who can introduce you to them. Maybe you can write a brotherhood story and make it into a film?"
Although Zhou Cheng wasn't involved in that circle, he knew that several recently released TV dramas were adaptations of BL (Boys' Love) stories, where the romance was changed into brotherhood. Some adaptations were very successful, while others were met with a barrage of criticism.
Han Ye: "..."
He could easily hear the mockery in Zhou Cheng's words, and his face flushed again. Han Ye coughed lightly, "Well... I was just joking, hahaha, just kidding... Don't take it seriously, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Cheng: "I'm not joking with you."
Han Ye: "!"
He was stunned, his face filled with fear. "Holy crap, no way? Is Actor Zhou serious?"
Ignoring his shock, Zhou Cheng reached into his pocket, pulled out a business card, and handed it to him. "Zhang Yan, the TV dramas adapted from his scripts are all huge hits. The recently popular 'Love as Before' was written by him. He's always wanted to take on a disciple, and I think you're quite suitable."
How could Han Ye not know Zhang Yan? He was a well-known screenwriter in the industry. Whatever he wrote became a hit. He also adapted many TV drama scripts based on novels. However, he only wrote and adapted BL dramas and never rewrote romance novels.
However, since the government doesn't allow BL dramas to be broadcast, Zhang Yan slightly modified the BL drama and wrote it as a brotherhood story, a male-centric drama with no female lead.
Han Ye had a deep impression of Zhang Yan because Zhang Yan had once contacted him.
Zhang Yan is not only the screenwriter but also the director, and he also handled the post-production. He wrote the script and directed the film himself.
The drama "Love as Before" has two male leads. One of them, Zhang Yan, approached Han Ye to play the role, saying that he was a good fit for the character, but Han Ye declined the offer.
He was just starting out then, and if he took on this role, he would be labeled with certain tags that would be difficult to remove later. People would define him based on his past roles in BL dramas.
Although Han Ye was just dabbling in the entertainment industry, he didn't want to make a mess of things.
The point of being out there is to have fun. If he can foresee the trouble he'll encounter later, why did he take the job? Isn't he just asking for trouble?
…
Looking at the business card in front of him, Han Ye shook his head violently. He said with a bitter face, "No, no, no, I was just joking, Mr. Zhou. Please don't mess with me."
Zhou Cheng scoffed lightly. Seeing how timid he was, he didn't force him to accept the business card. He put it back in his pocket and lowered his head to eat.
Han Ye breathed a sigh of relief and quickly moved to the side as if avoiding a flood or a ferocious beast.
Seeing his expression, Xu Yao, a regular guest, leaned over and whispered, "What did Actor Zhou say to you? You seem a bit afraid of him."
Han Ye glanced at Zhou Cheng, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, and caught a glimpse of his ambiguous smile. A chill ran down his spine, and he said, "Nothing! We didn't say anything, just chatted casually."
Xu Yao gave her a look that said, "Do you think I'd believe you?" She said, "I saw that Actor Zhou gave you his business card, but you didn't accept it. You rejected Actor Zhou?"
No wonder Actor Zhou's expression changed so drastically just now; now I understand.
Before Han Ye could speak, Xu Yao gave him a thumbs up and said, "You're awesome, bro. You even dared to refuse an award-winning actor."
Han Ye: "..."
I fucking swear!
Do you know what people said that made me refuse?
I'm also wronged, I have so much suffering to share but I can't express it!
Han Ye clenched his fist in anger, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, unable to understand the meaning behind Zhou Cheng's actions.
The latter glanced at him, a cold smile playing on his lips.
He's so timid. Aside from his decent-looking face, there are plenty of handsome men in the entertainment industry. I don't know what Qiao Nansheng saw in him.
Thinking back to the day before, when Qiao Nansheng was watching a variety show on her phone and her eyes were glued to Han Ye the whole time, Zhou Cheng felt a surge of jealousy.
He glared coldly at Han Ye, but regained his composure after Han Ye noticed and looked over. He smiled gently at him and continued eating.
"..."
Han Ye felt like he was going crazy.
What's wrong with Actor Zhou? He clearly glared at him just now, but then he smiled at him!
Ahhh!
*
Qiao Nansheng had no idea that Zhou Cheng was filming a variety show. When she got home after get off work in the afternoon, she didn't see him. Some of his clothes were missing from the dressing room, and his small black leather suitcase was also gone.
She guessed he might have taken a role and gone out to film, but she still pretended to ask Liu Xu, "Where's your Brother Cheng? Did he go to film a movie?"
Liu Xu shook her head, looking completely bewildered. "I don't know, I've never heard of it."
Sheng Zhuo said, "I've gone to film a movie."
However, he didn't know where he was this time, and Zhou Cheng didn't say when he would be back. He assumed Qiao Nansheng knew.
"Oh." Qiao Nansheng nodded, then asked, "Where's Grandpa? Did he go back?"
Liu Xu said, "Not long after you left, Aunt Chen came to pick him up and take him back."
…
With Zhou Cheng not around that night, Qiao Nansheng occupied the entire bed by herself, rolling around on it from one end to the other, sighing with pleasure.
It's good that Zhou Cheng isn't here. No one's fighting her for pillows, blankets, or the bed. She can sleep wherever she wants, and roll around in any position without any problem.
